Hi Guys!

First plan was to operate single band 20m HP. Would operate with linear
Hallicraft old HT-33B modified with a 4cx1500b. Tested at home, and went to the
station on the farm. Minutes before I called it, but it did not work the link
between the radio and amplifier. Got nervous with the problem, and decided to
do all band low power.
 I was not prepared psychologically for all band and played many years which
did not operate low power.

 Saturday afternoon, my transmission began to have distortion, I did not notice
that the 220V was low, then the source could not handle the 100W radio, had to
operate with lower 20W for a while. After I changed font (which was not the
problem) and put another had not noticed that the voltage to 110V. I operated
nearly five hours with the tension in the wrong font, began to smell burnt,
then noticed the mistake! This source is hero!
 End of the contest was virtually no voice, could barely do 59 one hundred
hihi! I did not have automatic voice CQ.

 Thanks to my father PY2EYE for support, he also felt sorry for not running it
linear.

Rig: TS-850S
Pwr: 100W max.
Ant: 10/15/20 - tribander TH7DX @ 21 meters
     40 - 2el. Yagi PP5UA @18 meters
